Tour Description
Included in the tour:
- Introduction to sled-dogs and mushing
- Well-trained, certified guide and a team of 4 to 6 friendly huskies
- Winter gear (jacket, snow pants, warm boots, mitts available. If you want, you can buy your own thermal underwear from us at a special Muktuk rate)

Enjoy spectacular landscapes, pristine wilderness, and fall asleep to the songs of your K-9 companions – perhaps hear the answer of a wolf – all under the shimmering Aurora Borealis. Highly intelligent, our dogs get bored of “the same old” and enjoy exploring
new territory. So our trips, while following the same loop, may take you on a different trail. This is one more aspect of your adventure that makes Muktuk dog sledding trips authentic. All Arctic outer clothing is provided as well as sleeping systems. You’ll be in Arctic oven tents which are the warmest tents made. And you’ll be eating excellent, hearty meals prepared by your guide. Return back to Muktuk Adventures ranch where you can relax in the sauna or spend the evening soaking in the hot springs.
